Sounds even more plausible now...

After stumbling across Resins bug tracker, it looks like Resin 3.1.4
fixed a bug with connecting to remote mysql servers. eg:

http://bugs.caucho.com/view.php?id=2103
http://bugs.caucho.com/view.php?id=2074

Hopefully an upgrade to Resin 3.1.4 will fix all your problems, and
Drupal will instantly become enterprise ready again.

It looks like Caucho use Drupal for their forums (I'm learning stuff
all the time). I'd say at least someone in high places has a stake in
making Drupal run well on Resin.

As part of Resins maturing process, they seem to be fixing lots of
bugs that are found by running Drupal.
